AT PITTSBURG.
PITTsBURG, April 13.-The war between
the stove molders and the manufacturers
has reached here, and from the present in
dications there will be general strike
within a few days. The manufacturers
have made bold and defiant move. They
have formed an alliance known as the
Stove Founders National Defense associa-
ton, and this organization is conducting
the warfare on the part of the manufac-
turers. To-day the manufacturers in this
city, members of the Defense association,
received confidential circular from the
secretary of their association. Iii review
ing the strike at st. Louis, which resulted
from the men first making demand for a
Is per cent advance, it states that the pat
terms of the boycotted st. Louis firm will
be sent to all the manufacturers in the
country, and that on certain day the firm
will be notified by telegraph to have mold
ingS made from the same. The mOlderS
in this city say they will refuse to mold
from these patterns, and that any attempt
to force them to do so will precipitate a
strike in all the foundries of the country.
